TUESDAY

Tuesday we had a yummy breakfast that James and Amanda made for us and then headed to CALM. We hadn't spent much time with James and Amanda in the past few months. It was really nice, and a perfect day for it.






This little tortuise was movin'


Feeding the goats and sheep

Aw! The black bear has it's arm around the brown bear


Grandma took Nathan and Teresa on the train - CHOO - CHOO!


**Check out what we did on Monday**

Spring Break 2010 MONDAY!

Monday we watched Ian and Luke. And played...


Blowing bubbles

Luke


Ian and Nathan were high-fiving


Say Cheese!

Easter Party! (Warning: Lots of pictures)

My dad's work puts together an Easter party every year. It's really fun! This year it was held outside of the State Farm building. The weather was perfect! It was from 10:30 -1:30 and we were busy the whole time, some of it spent in lines but it wasn't bad.

There was an inflatable obstacle course, and an all-in-one, with bouncing, sliding and climbing

Easter Egg Gather for the little ones

Ben and Jerry's ice cream - YUM! (they fed us lunch too, hot dogs and nachos)

My mom and Nathan, he didn't like the squishy wet grass on his feet (the shoes were back by the inflatables)

Easter Egg Gather for the big ones

That's my dad


Frank Thurston the magician. The kids loved him.


Face painting - a kitty and a rocket

The Easter Bunny was even there


There was a bounce house for the smaller ones, but toward the end Teresa got to go in with Nathan

Frank Thurston made the best balloon creations I've ever seen.

Isn't that lady bug the cutest thing ever?! Nathan wanted a bunny. Very fitting

Thanks mom and dad for treating us to a fun afternoon!

Highlights of our week

We had a fun week!

The sun was out and it was warm. We spent a lot of time working in the backyard and garden and playing in the sandbox(Thurs. we planted over 50 flowers). But here are a few pictures of the other things we've done.

This is a monkey I made for the top of my dad's birthday cake (Tues). The cake was homemade spice cake with cream cheese frosting(YUM! My mouth is watering just thinking about it)

Here's a cute picture of Nathan in gym class

The weather was so nice Wednesday, we decided to wash the truck

Nathan was a big help, he stuck with it until the end

Thursday we packed a lunch and spent over 2 hours at the park.

He LOVES the swings. He wants to go high in the sky like a plane, is what he tells me.

Hannah, Brianna and Teresa wishing they could be at the park

Look at that cute boy!

Sat. was Luke's 1st Birthday Party!

Desi and Teresa playing air hockey(Nathan and Ian didn't stay still for more than 2 minutes)

Here is Ryan, he is getting so big(6months now)

Doing Dishes

Nathan is in the kitchen and the water is running


Mom - "Nathan, what are you doing?"


Nathan - "Just doing dishes"




In his defense, he did wash the dishes, then he played with them. Sometimes, while "doing the dishes", he'll grab random things to see if they float. Ahh! The simple things.

Meow!

This is what I found when I went to feed the cats the other day...




We have so many funny moments around here, I wish I could share them all. Although, I'm sure they won't all be so funny or cute to you ;)

What to do when the sun won't shine?!

We needed to play, I looked at all the various places to play indoors. Then decided it was going to be cheaper to have lunch at Del Taco - lunch and play, for less then playing someplace else.

Yum!




This cracks me up, he puts his shoes and socks like this everytime we go play somewhere. It's his pattern.











It's always fun at Del Taco - and today the sun is out!
